can this be used for a dog weighing about 38 pounds?

sure, I use it on my dogs who weigh in at around 60 pounds without any problems.

40 pounds would be too big a dog for this. My dog is between 25 and 30 and she is at the top of her size for this carrier.

Probably. Our dog weights about 16lbs and has room to move around. Really depends on how big they are.

I put my 25lb dog on 2 small flannel blankets in the basket to take to the park. He loves it! I would say that more than 40lbs would not be a good idea. The 2 supporting legs would probably bend between 40 to 50lbs.

Personally, I wouldn't go beyond 5 or 6 pounds. The straps might be uncomfortable. It has two metal hooks inside, however, I cut them both out. Because my dog is afraid of anything metal.

I don't think so. I used it on my 90lb lab, and the rear support strap was completely extended and really tight around his abdomen.

I think that this would work all right for your dog. I have a dog that weights about 25 lbs and it works well. You will need to set the shock setting very low. I have the shock set on 20 and works very well.

i would say no right off the bat but how small is small? there are weight limits- i wouldn't put it on any dog below 25 pounds

I would say yes. We bought it for my 13 year Dalmatian when her hips couldn't support her anymore. Unfortunately, we only used it a couple of times before she left us, but we were happy with it. She weighed 68 pounds.

It's not for small breeds. I buy for my boxer mix who is 47 pounds and it's perfect.

Yes it can. I'm using it on my 60 pound Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix and it works very well.

You could always get a new collar (there is one provided) but the health and wellness of the dog may be affected. I believe the animal should be over 30 lbs for use. But you could always just use the vibration setting.

No. I have a lab that weighs 70lbs. This is way too big for a yorkie. You might have luck with "stop it" spray. It's about $6 on Amazon and closer to $20 at petsmart. Great for bad behaviors like jumping and barking. Broke our dog from jumping almost immediately. No harm to the dog and smells nice. Good luck with your search.

It might technically fit, but it would likely be too heavy and cumbersome for a dog <20 lbs. I think for a small dog there are smaller and cheaper options.

Had this for my lab mix. He was about 70lbs but I think it should be fine for you. Try googling the product and see what comes up. Good luck.

I would not use it on such a small dog. My lab is 75 pounds and I only use the collar on the first setting and he responds well to that but if I go any higher it is to much for him. Every dog is different but I would stray away to find a less intense collar.

I don't think so. I used it on two 10lb pups and even at its tightest setting it was a bit large. I hope that helps.
